Ultimate CI/CD for Platform Engineering

Ship Faster. Scale Smarter. Engineer with Confidence.Book DescriptionModern Software Delivery Is Won by Teams That Master CI/CD at ScaleSpeed, reliability, and security define competitive advantage in modern software engineering — and CI/CD pipelines are the foundation that delivers all the three. Ultimate CI/CD for Platform Engineering equips developers, DevOps engineers, architects, and technical leaders with the frameworks, tools, and practices needed to build high-performing, enterprise-grade delivery pipelines that scale with confidence.You begin with CI/CD fundamentals and efficient pipeline design, then progressively advance through GitOps, Infrastructure as Code, DevSecOps, and compliance automation. The book covers AI-driven workflow optimisation, hybrid and multi-cloud deployment strategies, application performance monitoring, and chaos testing for resilience, grounding every concept in practical implementation and real engineering environments.Thus, by the end of the book, you will design, secure, and scale delivery pipelines capable of handling enterprise complexity, measuring performance with DORA and SPACE metrics, and driving continuous improvement across engineering teams.What you will learn● Design secure, automated CI/CD pipelines for modern software delivery.● Implement DevSecOps practices with integrated compliance and security controls.● Apply GitOps and Infrastructure as Code for repeatable deployments.● Optimise build and deployment workflows using AI-driven automation.● Deploy and scale CI/CD across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.● Measure delivery performance using DORA metrics and chaos testing.Table of Contents1.
